My PCM is going bad on my 2001 Cherokee. My mechanic wanted 800 for the Mopar remanufactured. Based upon some of the feedback from this forum, I bought a A1 Cardone PCM for less than $200. I know it needs to be flashed with the VIN and Mileage and my mechanic has someone who will do it for $150 (same price as the local dealership). He said I should not drive it unflashed that it could cause major problems. Looking around, it seems like the conventional wisdom is that it is fine to drive, but I can't find anything specific to the Cardone since it is not flashed like the various Florida outfits.

Is it safe to drive a Cardone PCM for 10 miles to get to the mechanic for the flash, or will I harm my jeep by doing so?
